A LAME AND lMPoTeNT CONCLUSION.

In our court report, last week. we gave
as full an outline of the evidence in the
case of State VS.. Flint as our space would
allow. This was the second criminal
trial that resulted in disagreement
of the jury at the last term, the other be-
ing State VS.. Mitchell, who was charged
with an act of burglary in Vergennes.
The latter case did not excite so great
interest, as the breaking and entering
was for the purpose of stealing articles
of small value, while in the Flint case
the object was robbery and in its consum-
nation very nearly involved the crime of
murder. Both cases, however, were
characterized by the same sort of manu-
factured defence, a pitiful sham in each
instance, not calculated to deceive any
body in the world, it would seem, save
the guileless Juror of the period.
1t becomes a matter of grave concern
to the community when the perpetra-
tors of crimes of this character cannot be
convicted upon such evidence as was pre-
sented in these cases. 1t is a holding-out
to the felon, instead of the sure prospect
of speedy punishment when caught, the
more pleasing likelihood of an interesting
trial or two where he will be the center
of sympathetic interest, windy eloquence
in his favor, divided jury and release on
nominal bail. Thus the law ceases to be
terror to evil-doers, crime is encourag-
ed, society is exposed to peril and rogues
60 unwhipped of justice.
There appears to be but one remedy.
Town authorities should see to it that the
names put in the jury box are those of
sound and clear-headed men. able to dis
criminate between honest testimony and
manifest invention, and not liable to be
carried away by the clamor of hired at
torneys. They should be men who would
appreciate the gravity of such an issue,
when presented to them, and give to the
case throughout the trial an intelligent
and serious consideration, and not carry
themselves like a lot of school boys on a
vacation picnic. Return such men and
you may hope for justice; neglect to dc
so and every criminal trial is likely tC
come. like those under consideration. tc
IA lame and impOtent conclusion"

ADDISON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL So


The executive board of the Addison
County Agricultural society met at the
Addison House on Wednesday. There
were present President f. N. Bissell of
Shoreham, Vice President j. A. James of
Weybridge, Secretary Frank C. Dyer of
West Salisbury, Assistant Secretary II.
f. Taylor of West Cornwall, Treasurer
Calvin Hill of Middebury, Directors
Hon. j. NJ. Dyer of West Salisbury, D.
Rider of Middlebury, Hon. d. w. Nash
of New Haven and f. G.. Farnham of
Shoreham. The premium list was re-
vised and committees and the various su-
perintendents appointed. After consid-
cradle discussion it was voted to exclude
all chance games and catch-penny shows
from the grounds. 1t was decided to have
no address at the fair this year. The fair
will be held on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, September Z, s and 8.

CONGRESSIONAL ENGLISH.

There is one additional chair required
in all of our colleges-the chair of Eng
lish language-and every man who goes
to Congress should be obliged to have
diploma for that study. Eight eminent
lawyers were in my Office today, and
they examined the interstate commerce
law that is to be if the President signs
the bill. Four of them said: "If you
take this Interpretation you will go to
Jail, and if you take the other you will
rot in prison"
SO said Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew in
his speech at the annual dinner of the
Dartmouth alumni in New York the 9TH
er evening. One who has had access to
the Congressional Record during the last
month can easily believe Mr.. Depew's
statement; for the Record contains page
after page of debates that had no other
origin than the obscure language of the
bill. Congress might overcome difficult
ties of this character by appointing a
committee on grammar" as Vermont's S
Legislature has done for several sessions
past.
But members of Congress are not the
only ones who fail to make themselves
understood, and there is sound sense in
Mr.. Depew's suggestion with reference
to the teaching of the English language
in colleges. We suspect many college
graduates on entering practical life are
amazed at the ease and clearness with
which those who have had few advan-
tages of education in the schools express
their Thoughts, and have been appalled,
by their own inability in that direction.
Language is undoubtedly a gift. to some
extent at least; that is, in its finest and
highest manifestations. Nevertheless
the college or high-school graduate who
cannot set down his ideas in language OF
unmistakabe import, and with some de-
gree of elegance if circumstances require,
has wofully neglected his course or has
had poor instruction. 1t must be ac-
knowledged, however, that the study OF
English has not received the attention its
importance demands. Every other branch
of human knowledge has had precedence
of it, till it has seemed sometimes as il
the average graduate knew less of his
own tongue and the classics of it than OF
anything else. But an Improvement is
manifest in this college and in Others
and it is to be hoped that the time is not
far distant when the college graduate
will be able to speak or to write down
what he knows, and to do it decently well

A FALSE CHARGE.

We are pleased to be able to state. on
the authority of one of the members.
that none of the State board of agricul-
ture holds pass Oh the railroads. This
is as it should be. The State is able to
pay for the transportation of the board.
and does pay for it, and no member
ought to ride on a pass under any circum-
stances. No class of our population is
more deeply interested than the farmers
in the proper management of the rail
roads; and those who speak to and for
them should feel perfectly free TO voice
their honest convictions on railroad mat
ters, both in public and private, if occa-
sion demands.
In this connection it should, perhaps,
be said that the members of the board do
not profit largely by their work in a
| financial point of view The statute
provides that they shall be paid 81 day,
while engaged in board duties, and nee
essary expenses. The average paid to
each member the past four years has
not exceeded $50 year, and over sixty
per cent of this went for expenses; so
that the net income of the members is
very small. Still there is no apparent
difficulty in finding capable men to take
the positions; and those who cannot af-
ford to serve at the rate provided should
withdraw, and not seek to increase their
income by sponging transportation out
of the railroads. But, as we said at the
outset, we are glad to know that the
members of the present board pay their
way man fashion.

TIE great strike in New York and its
vicinity is increasing in magnitude and
promises to become Of serious conse-
quence. At first it involved only the coal
handlers. but coal men succeeded in NOV
ing what coal was wanted for immediate
use; then the 'longshoremen, who load
and unload ships cargoes, struck, and
now the freight-handlers on the Pennsyl-
vania. Erie and New Jersey Central roads
have gone out. The last move adds at
least 5000 to those out before, who num-
bered more than 10000. A leader told a
Tribune reporter: I'VE may have to tie
up all the freight traffic by rail into New
York before the strike is settled, and from
advices that have been received from va
rious parts of the country it is not i'm
probable that the entire Atlantic seaboard
may become involved before the matter
is ended"

PUBLISHERS NOTICE.

BEGINNING on the first day OF April next, we
shall require that all subscriptions to the REG
IsTER be paid i'll advance On that date all
papers not paid in advance will be discontin-
ued, and thereafter papers will be stopped
when the time paid tor has expired.
We have tried the other plan faithfully, and
are forced to the conclusion that 1t is not the
right way. About one-half of our subscri-
bers do pay in advance. The remaining haii'
whose subscriptions represent the proht OF
the business and n great deal more, pay only
when they have been asked half IL dozen
times, and perhaps not then. 1t costs more
than it comes to to collect their SUBSCRIPTIONS.
The amounts are small, but, in the aggre-
gate, stand tor considerable sum, which we
are entitled to and ought to have. Most OF
this money due is in the hands of responsible
persons, and yet it is out of our controi anu Is
of no use to meet our bills. 1t may be pald
sometime, but in the meanwhile we must let
our creditors suffer or borrow money to pay
them and pay interest on II.
Every paper sent out of an Office costs
money. The employees OF the Office must be
paid weekly, the paper bills monthly. Any
one can readily see that when subscription
runs for a year or more we are lending the
subscriber so much cash. 1t is an unbusiness'
Hike way of doing business; and we are sure
that our friends will see it in that light and
cheerfully fall in with the arrangement, the
propriety of which is so obvious.
We shall send every subscriber statement
of account very soon, in order that there may
be no misunderstanding; and perhaps II may
be found best to publish list of those farth
est in arrears, to whom bills have been re
peatedly sent without result. Some of them
may not have received notice who can thus be
reached.

a CURIOUS story comes from Lincoln,
Neb., to the effect that Brigham Young s
death was a sham; that he has been kept
in concealment since 1877, when he was
believed to have left the weeping world
of his numerous household and gone
hence, and that the Mormon leaders are
preparing to strengthen their cause and
discomtit the Gentiles by his ''resurrec-
ton" The press of the West employs
very able liars. and this tale is probably
pure fabrication. Besides, what with
the Edmunds law and proposed congress

SENATOR EDMUNDs presented in the
Senate, few days ago, memorial of
Vermont business men and manufacture
ers for repeal of internal revenue taxes.
He urged the Importance of the subject
of reducing, if not altogether repeating,
this remnant of the unpleasantness of 25
years ago. He should be glad, he said,
to see the country restored to such busi-
that time, and to have the resources of
the government obtained entirely from
importations and the little incidental
matters of lands, etc, instead of keeping
up an army of internal tax-gatherers, in
spectors, and all that sort of thing.

WORTHY OF COMMENTATOR.

The executive board of the county ag-
ricultural society did two good things at
its meeting, Wednesday. In the first
place il voted not TO admit upon the
grounds at the coming fair iewclry ped
lers, patent medicine vendors or any of
that class of cheap shOwmen and traffic
ers whose vOciferOus eulogies of their
wares have been nuisance on fair
grounds from time immemorial. The
board argues that these fellows are
cheats and frauds for the most part: that
the better portion of the patrons of fairs
don't want to see them, and that no one
is benefited by their presence; and it
therefore, wisely as it looks to us, rules
not to allow them hereafter.
The boards second new departure was
to dispense with the annual address. We
are glad to see this ancient humbug abol-
ished. Unless human fog-horn can be
secured, which is not always feasible,
not tenth part of "A Playground audi
ence can hear an address under the best
of conditions; and not one in thousand
wants to listen at such a time. There is
too much of a more entertaining charac-
ter that asks attention.
